There is still a lot of uncertainty around the Denver Broncos quarterback situation.Although Russell Wilson has a five-year deal and owes $242.6 million, he has started to take offers on his Colorado house.
Wilson was benched last season, which raised doubts about his relationship with head coach Sean Payton. For his part, Payton has acknowledged that he hasn’t “fallen in love” with a quarterback just yet. Furthermore, Wilson did not fit his description of the qualities he is seeking in a quarterback.
However, that is consistent with what rookie quarterback Mac Jones of the New England Patriots shown.
That was Derrik Klassen of 33rd Team’s case for Jones in 2018 and 2019, particularly, as a possible fit and reclamation project for Payton similar to Teddy Bridgewater.
Jones might be of interest to the Denver Broncos, according to Klassen’s post from February 15. “Russell Wilson’s inability to handle as much pre-snap and in the full dropback game as Payton is used to with his quarterbacks appears to be part of coach Sean Payton’s frustrations with Wilson.”
Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees said Wilson’s best skills don’t fit what Payton wants.”In my opinion, Russell is not a rhythmic or timing passer,” Brees stated on “Pro Football Talk” on February 8. “Russell has been one of the league’s top deep ball throwers for a while now, right? However, it’s a run game, read-option content, and an RPO game. After that, there will be a lot of play-action; let him start it. That seems like the greatest system for him, in my opinion.
Klassen stated, “Jones has his limitations, too.” “However, it’s difficult to ignore the scenario in which Payton extracts from Jones what he extracted from Teddy Bridgewater some time ago.”
